Newman, New Improved Stack

Anthony Newman raised to 22,000 in the hijack and it folded around to Thomas Bichon in the small blind who made it 65,000 to go. Back around to Newman, who counted out the call but after a moment of looking at it decided to go all in instead - another 212,000, around the same as Bichon's remaining stack.

Bichon removed his hood to show that this was a very serious decision - he is, by the by, wearing a rather interesting sleeveless hoodie today - and disappeared into his own private tank of despair.

"Best hand in two days," he lamented, then, "My best hand," to clarify. He looked up towards the rail, in case they could maybe help him with his decision; they could not. He tanked up for anther few minutes, but ultimately folded.

Bichon is on around 200,000 now, while Newman's at 350,000.
